Better Than Water

Advantages: Two worlds melded together very nicely
Disadvantages: Not terribly well drawn characters

...Mike Carey is not a name I'd come across before, but on hearing he'd written the book that the film ''Constantine'' was based on, I was certainly interested in his work. ''Thicker Than Water'' is the fourth in his series involving Felix Castor and whilst that gave me slight pause about coming in to an already well established series, my desire to check out Carey's work outweighed any concerns I had. Felix Castor is an exorcist, attempting to fight the demons, werewolves and zombies that inhabit our world. Not all of them, as his closest friend has a demon living inside him whilst his friends Nicky and Juliet are a zombie and succubus. Mostly, he lets such things be, but if they cause trouble he takes it upon himself to remove them from the world and let us mere humans live in peace. This time around, Castor is implicated in a murder...

Water, Water, Everywhere

Advantages: Psychologically scary, strong performances from key cast members.
Disadvantages: Too many characters are introduced, the ending is a little silly.

...Walter Salles 2005 film 'Dark Water' is dark and mysterious, a truly chilling remake of Hideo Nakata's Japanese horror film which was originally released in 2002. It's an interesting concept that Walter Salles should take on a film of this sort, he'd previously had success with the film 'The Motorcycle Diaries' but 'Dark Water' is really something far different than this. What's more is that this is a major American remake and yet Walter Salles himself is Brazilian. Although this was not a predictable film for Walter Salles to have taken on, what I will say is that he has done an excellent job here and successfully directed a brilliant horror film. In the 2000s there has been quite a trend for remaking popular Japanese horror films. 'The Ring' films were remade, as too was the 'Ju-on' series, it's only right then that 'Dark Water...

Brecon Carreg Still Water

Advantages: Refreshing!
Disadvantages: It's just water!

...Water water everywhere, so let's all have a drink...at a slight cost to the consumer of course. The inventor of 'bottled water' is little short of a genius in my eyes, but then again we all need to make a living, so here's a product from one of those geniuses - Brecon Carreg Still Mineral Water. Coming from the deepest, darkest depths of the Welsh Valleys, Brecon Carreg is filtered through layers of limestone at 'Black Mountain' (that's somewhere in the Brecon Beacons for all those looking for a small geography lesson!). It's bottled at the source, as are all good brands of bottled water to help keep it's clean, fresh taste. Being natural mineral water there's no additional ingredients to help shelf-life or taste, but instead contains quantities of all the important minerals floating around in the Welsh mountains, such as...

Cool Water

Advantages: Great long lasting fragrance
Disadvantages: can be a little expensive

...Cool Waters is a really popular fragrance which has been on the market since 1996. Whenever the name "Cool Water" is mentioned just about everyone knows exactly which perfume you are talking about and most people have either bought it or smelled it before. I have been buying Davidoff Cool Water for about 6 or 7 years now and use it quite reguarly because of its exotic long lasting scent. I wouldn't go as far as saying its my favourite perfume because I have well over 100 bottles of perfume and chosing a favourite would be too hard because I love the smell of all my perfumes. But out of all my perfumes this is the one which I use the most, usually about 4 or 5 times a week. Whenever I look the bottle of Cool Water it reminds me of sitting at the beach looking at the waves in the sea. I personally think that the name of the perfume...

Water - the movie

Advantages: thought provoking, beautiful cinematography, good characterisation
Disadvantages: you will most definetly need a box of tissues at hand - total tear jerker

...For those who havent seen this film or are considering doing so - go out and get it now!! Can be found on amazon for around 10-12 pounds or find it online and watch it! This has got to be one of my all time favourite movies by Deepa Mehta - a very contraversial director from india who brought us films such as fire - about same sex love in a normal poor middle class family in india and the consequences of falling in love with the wrong person, as well a heavy critique of indian society. Indeed the film has been banned from india and there much effort to do the same to Water.. it seems the indian government are obsessed with hiding their not so pretty past too! Water is part of her "elements" series which started with Earth:1947 a love story, Fire and now Water. The better known bollywood stars include Johnny Abraham (such a hottie, i...

To Get Me to Drink Water...

Advantages: Better tasting water
Disadvantages: none

...You could say that I am very conscious of what food and drink I put into my body, especially since my heart attack a few years back. I then decided to do a lot of research on heart disease and discovered that prevention is better than cure for all disease and all it would take is a little discipline on my diet. I did not want to keep taking the heart drugs for the rest of my life and have since stopped, but this is not something I would recommend if you?ve had heart problems unless you talk to your doctor and heart specialists. When I came out of hospital, I came across a report on the Internet that said that we don?t drink enough water and this can lead to many diseases, and one of the diseases mentioned was heart disease. I found an article about a Japanese water cure that suggested drinking 3-4 large glasses of water first thing in...

Review of Brita Mistral Water Filter

This Water: Is Average!

Advantages: Looks Great, Citrus Flavour, Refreshing
Disadvantages: Simple Not Worth The Price

...***Review of Lemon and Lime Flavour*** In a vain attempt to reduce the amount of Diet Coke I drink, I have been on the lookout for some different water based drinks, which will ultimately be a little better for me. I was in the local shop next to work buying my usual afternoon Diet Coke when I spotted ?this water? I am a fan of lemon and citrus drinks and thought i?d give it a go, I paid for my drink (along with a diet coke....what? I?m not perfect!) and was surprised that this 420ml bottle cost £1.55. It had better be good I thought to myself. I know the shop by my work is usually pricey so I?d imagine else where you can pick this up for nearer £1.30. The reason i picked up this particular flavour, besides my preference for lemon drinks, was that it looked the most refreshing. The label is simple and shows a small blue cloud...

Review of This Water Real Fruit Quenchers

Come On In, the Water's Fine

Advantages: Distinctive characters
Disadvantages: Some unneccessary diversions into the stories of minor characters

..."Blood Ties", the opening part of Pamela Freeman's "Castings" trilogy was a decent opening, but darted between characters with all the feeling of a chick lit style novel and, for me, interrupted the flow of things. The story was entertaining enough, but the writing style detracted a little from it and one of the main characters seemed pushed into the background. Following on directly from the events of that book, "Deep Water" starts with Bramble, Ash and Martine on their way to see Safred, the Well of Secrets; someone who hears the voices of the gods better than most people. As well as Bramble needing healing, they are seeking advice on how best to stop Saker from raising ghosts to take revenge on the invaders who took over the country a thousand years previously. Bramble's desire to do stop him gains extra motivation after the ghosts...
